The importance of persevering through challenging roles

Conventional wisdom suggests that if you start feeling like you made a mistake in a new job, it's probably not going to get better. However, the speaker challenges this notion and emphasizes the value of perseverance in the face of challenges. The first 100 days, and even the first year, of a job can be the hardest, and it's important to assess whether the position is set up for failure or if it's an opportunity to show grit. Overcoming difficult problems in a role can lead to a powerful narrative for future career growth.
